INSTRUCTIONS:  for Manta Senior Explorer (Sr) - the Manta Junior Primary (Jr) - Manta Mini

We would like to discuss a few of the features to make you more familiar with this product.

The MantaReel is constructed of anodized aluminum, stainless steel and UHMW plastic. While these materials are all highly corrosive resistant, we recommend to prolong the life of your reel, rinse it with fresh water after every dive. Also place a drop of oil or WD40 on the trigger slot (Sr.& Jr) reels.

The Wave Washer Tension Control: The purpose of the wave washer is to keep the line on your reel from free-spooling or "birdsnesting". The wave washer tension control is set at the factory with a medium amount of tension. If you would like to alter the amount of tension, follow these instructions carefully. Tools needed are a 9/16 inch socket wrench (Field Adjustment). A bench vise and a 9/16 socket wrench are preferred. NOTE: Tension control does not usually require adjustment and should not be adjusted until after you have used the reel. Water acts as a lubricant on tension control.

Step1:  To adjust the amount of tension, place head on spool bolt in bench vise or hold securely with box wrench. With bolt head secure loosen nylon lock nut. When nut is loose rotate frame in small increments (1/6 turn) clockwise to increase tension, counter/clockwise to decrease. You may test tension by holding frame stationary and rotating spool.

Step2:  After making adjustment, retighten nylon lock nut securely while holding bolt head stationary. NOTE: It is extremely important when tightening nylon lock nut that the bolt head does not move.

With adjustment complete wind your reel for 30-40 cranks to make sure it functions properly. If tension does not hold repeat step 1 & 2.
